Education; week, being observed just now throughout the United States and Canada, is set aside to encourage parents and others to visit the schools and see what is being done for the young generation. The opportunities thus extended to make a first hand survey of our schools should be accepted by everyone in as much as education is everybody’s business. “There is no occasion for com- placency in this field, as one Toronto daily puts it, citing the riots staged by young people in that city Hallowe’en night and the intolerance that is sometimes practised against minorities in Canada as indicating that there are serious gaps in our educational system. One other fact that cannot be overlooked is that one- third of the rejections from the Canadian armed forces were due to mental instability and personality deficiencies. That condition is a challenge to the parents of the Domin- ion and also to our educational system. Senator T. A. Crerar, former minister of mines and resources, recently quoted the representative of a European Scott. A movement on foot in England that should cause some Canadians, even some living in Richmond Hill, to blush, has for its purpose the sharing of food and cloth- ing with the impoverished peoples of Europe. There is nothing compulsory about it. The offerings are from families all in more or less states of destitution themselves, and all are absolutely voluntary. WALTER SCOTT BLAZES A PATH Domestic science will henceforth be taught in Rich- mond Hill public school. That news will be received with pleasure by every far sighted man and woman in the vill- age, and they will unite in paying tribute to the clear vision and sound judgment of Walter Scott, the principal, who by establishing such a course becomes the pioneer here in the new educational set-up that essays to make school- ing really and truly a preparation for the years that come after “the Entrance” and after “Matric.” Of the various courses that will be and actually are being incorporated into public and high school curricula, domestic science must ever occupy a conspicuous position for the reason that it is the only study that contemplates the imparting of greater skill in housekeeping and hence home making, and upon our home making, of course, rests all that we are and all that we have in life. The introduction of a course in domestic science is a fine beginning to the system of technical training, not only for boys and girls of school age but for the residents of entire communities, that is bound to become an important part of the new Canadian scheme of things, and great cre~ dit must go to Mr. Scott for his initiation of the course at the earliest possible moment and to the public school board for its co-oper‘ation with him. _ Residents who have followed school activities here know that school boards in many large centres of the prov- ince would consider themselves most“ fortunate if they could obtain the services of so sound an educationist as Walter Current issues of both the Spectator and the New Statesmen tell of this effort to secure sponsorship from the government in the effort to send to Europe food to be provided “by a voluntary gift of a share of their ra- tions”â€"rations already most meager in comparison with ours. The New Statesman reports that the letters received in response to the appeal refute the charge that it is only the comfortable, the childless, or the sentamentalists who are willing or able to spare anything from their present ration scale. ' larly when there is a fairly well populated countryside to be served. The proposal, in any event, provides food for reflec- tion. We have considered a memorial sports centre, as al- ready proposed, and we find many persons are opposed to it on the ground that it is devoid of Christian sentiment. We have been offered also a combined sports-educational centre which would make some contribution to Christian fellowship in the sense of providing opportunities for adult education, technical and otherwise, and now we have a memorial hospital truly indicative of Christian charity and benevolence as these virtues are exemplified by the Good Samaritan of old who undertook to care for the stranger fallen by the wayside. Letters came from former prisoners in Nazi concen- tration camps who wish “to help the children.” A soldier of the occupation force at present in Germany writes: “The miseries f the obviously innocent children here make any prolonged sense of happiness or contentment impossible.” An ex-prisoner of war for four years now in hospital writes: “My own suffering-s were nothing compared with that of some men who were prisoners with me. But each of us would willingly do anything to help the children. Food is most impoftémt to get me back to health. I am willing to do without some of it to help all kiddies, even if it means another year in hospital to get me right. The editorial comment is “Total was has not destroyed people’s sense of human values and moral obligations.” Can this be said of us â€" the people of Canada who have suffered no material destruction, nor any real priva- tion of food, warmth or clothing? The proposal made to Vaughan township council that a. memorial hospial be built in Richmond Hill and main- tained by Vaughan, Markham township, Richmond Hill and surrounding communities in honor of the youths of the district who fell during the war, is well worthy of consideration. Certainly there is much in the suggestion that will appeal to folks who can see little if any merit in a sports centre as a memorial, but who would View such a hospital project as representing genuine sacrifice and something of that love for our fellow man that is described as Christ- like. Hospitals are not money makers. They are not in- tended to operate at a profit but to render a great and noble service to mankind. Even in the larger centres they incur deficits yearly. Yet there are hospitals in commumâ€" ties round about us, and these may be accepted as prece- dents, testifying to the fact that a small centre of popula- tion may reasonably maintain a small hospital, particu- PAGE TWO An Independent Weekly â€" Established 1878 Subocription Rate, $1.50 per year; To the United States $2.00 Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO power as having said to him a few years ago: “You have a very rich country, butâ€"if you will pardon me for saying soâ€"you are a very wasteful people.” ’lhe senator eyi- dently still feels that popular coâ€"operation with govern- ment measures to conserve our national resources, is still necessary. PEACE! IT’S WONDERFUL Beyond doubt we are getting back to normal. On the early Richmond Hill radial cars on any chilly morning now one is almost certain to hear the remark that ‘we ought to give this country back to the Indians,’ and not far away we heard of a’party where a prize was given for guessing the number of seeds in a watermelon, and, of course, the seeds had to be counted to determine the winner. Diff- erent friends have started keeping tab on the number of days until Christmas, and right in our office a visitor tried to provoke us into expressing an opinion as to whether the Russians, Americans, British or Canadians won the war. “Dark horses” as possible candidates in the coming mun- icipal elections are being discussed here and elsewhere with old time ‘wim and wigor,’ and the tax rates all over are receiving as much attention as they did in the years pre- ceding 1939. Down in Toronto we noticed a hand organ grinder with a monkey, and we heard of a man who cleared a bit of money as a ‘ticket scalper’ at one of the hockey games. Certainly peace is here and we’re just about back to normal. , i! 1 a! Canadians are not so much wasteful of their heritage as careless about it. The need for enlightened control and efficient development is an urgent challenge to all, he de- clared. Soundly conserved, prudently managed and turn- ed to practical purposes, as the government at Ottawa, proposes, with the co-operation of the provincial govern- ments, Canada’s basic resources' can mean much to the country as a whole and the welfare of its people. We must not allow these resources .to be developed inadequately or waste away through indifference anch neglecc.
